About Audiobooks

I have been recording the audiobooks I've listened to in an Excel spreadsheet since May, 2008. But a spreadsheet does a poor job of handling multiple authors for a book or multiple readings (listenings). So I wrote this tool to make it easier to keep track of the audiobooks I've listened to.

Out of necessity, I wrote this application using Python CGI. This is because my shared hosting service supports PHP or Python CGI and not a newer protocol such as WSGI (e.g., Flask). Although CGI is dismissed these days as unworthy, CGI applications are fairly easy to write.

Anyone is welcome to view the data, but at this time I am the only person who can log in to add new audiobooks or update existing audiobooks.

The source code for this application is available at my GitHub repository.
